Synopsis

The team of writer-directors Zucker-Zucker-Abrahams created their own brand of scattergun comedy in a succession of movies packed with sometimes subtle, often deliciously infantile jokes, usually about other films and TV shows - like this brilliant and inventive spin-off from their own 'Police Squad'. Leslie Nielsen stars as the impossibly stupid cop Frank Drebin who bungles his way through an investigation, backed up by a pre-controversy OJ Simpson.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
